This prestigious event, which will take place at Dubai Harbour from October 12-15, 2025, is set to become the world’s largest gathering for startups and investors.
The campaign's first leg recently concluded in the United States, where it covered Las Vegas, Phoenix, and San Francisco. It successfully gathered over 200 representatives from diverse startups, investors, and tech companies, creating a dynamic platform for networking, knowledge-sharing, and exploring opportunities within Dubai’s rapidly growing digital economy.
A highlight of the campaign was the startup pitch competition, where 20 innovative companies showcased their solutions. DataBiologics and Nanowear were crowned winners, earning fully funded opportunities to participate in Expand North Star 2025, unlocking new market access.
The campaign also featured 13 high-level meetings with key business ecosystem partners, venture capital firms, and unicorn companies, aiming to solidify ties between Dubai and the U.S. in the digital economy sector.
Expand North Star 2025 follows the success of the 2024 edition, which saw record-breaking participation. More than 1,800 startups and over 1,200 investors from 100 countries attended, with 65 unicorn companies collectively valued at $400 billion showcasing their innovations.
